Slow West immediately made a huge splash at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The action thriller film was the dramatic winner of the Sundance Institute’s World Cinema Jury Prize.

Finally, the first trailer for the well-reviewed film has dropped. I’m not a fan of westerns but this one has my interest piqued. And not just because that sexy Michael Fassbender stars in it. Though that doesn’t hurt.

“At the end of the nineteenth century, 16-year-old Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) journeys across the American frontier in search of the woman he loves. He is joined by Silas (Michael Fassbender), a mysterious traveler, and hotly pursued by an outlaw along the way.”

The film was written and directed by John Maclean. Rounding out the cast are Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Mendelsohn and Caren Pistorius. Slow West opens in theaters and becomes available on VOD May 15. Check out the trailer below.

We’ve seen sneak peeks of Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman from the highly-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Warner Bros. just released via Entertainment Weekly the first look at one of the main antagonists of the film.

“Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake,” says Zack Snyder. “He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”

While some frowned at the studio’s decision to cast Jesse Eisenberg as the iconic villain, I thought he was perfect. We’ve already seen him play a nefarious billionaire in The Social Network and play a mastermind in Now You See Me. Once you see him with a shaved head, you’ll be a believer as well. Check out Jesse pulling a mean Lex Luthor below.

It’s the sequel no one was really asking for, but a follow up to Independence Day will hit theaters twenty years after the original blockbuster stormed cineplexes. While it’s highly unlikely Will Smith will return, his on-screen love interest has just signed on the dotted line.

Vivica A. Fox played Jasmine, a single mother slash exotic dance in the 1996 blockbuster film. She would eventually marry Smith’s character. Director Roland Emmerich broke the news via Twitter.

The 50-year-old actress is just the latest from the original cast to return. Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman also agreed to reprise their roles for the sequel. New blood cast for the film include Liam Hemsworth, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Jessie Usher. The latter is playing Smith and Fox’s son.

Excited for the sequel? Do you think Will Smith will return for a cameo? Sound off below. Independence Day 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on June 24, 2016. Check out Emmerich and Fox’s tweets below, along with Fox channeling her inner stripper from the original blockbuster.

Five years after signing off on HBO, the highly-anticipated Entourage film is mere weeks away. Vinnie Chase and his boys dream large and live larger in the big screen version.

Warner Bros. just premiered a new trailer that’s even more-studded than the first. At first glance, I counted at least twenty-plus cameos including Calvin Harris, Tom Brady, Liam Neeson, Jessica Alba and Mark Wahlberg himself, whom the original series is loosely based on.

The film picks up where the series left off, chronicling the continuing career of movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his entourage of friends. Ari (Jeremy Piven) bankrolls Vince’s directorial debut with a $100 million budget which goes $15 million over. He does this by securing financing from a Texas billionaire Larsen McCredle (Billy Bob Thornton) and his son Travis (Haley Joel Osment). Vince continues his carefree lifestyle saying if the film fails they can just move back to Queens. Now with his own studio Ari deals with the problems of being a start up movie producer in his own ill tempered way.

Check out the new trailer below. Entourage hits theaters on June 5, 2015.

At 52-years-old, Tom Cruise is courting geriatric Expendables territory. Exactly how many moreMission Impossible films he has in his future, who knows? One thing I’m certain of though is that Paramount Pictures will keep churning them out since they perform decently well at the box office.

For the fifth installment, titled Mission Impossible: Rogue Mission, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is tracked down by the Syndicate, a highly trained organization of rogue assassins that kill on order. With the help of his colleagues, he plans to bring the Syndicate down by any means necessary.

Participating once again are Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Alec Baldwin joins the franchise as the head of the CIA. Check out the first full trailer below. Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation hits theaters on July 31.

Jason Statham may be done with Transporter films but that doesn’t mean more sequels aren’t on the way.

It’s hard to imagine the franchise without the sexy Statham but the equally alluring and ruggedly handsome Ed Skrein taking over the part makes the transition easier. Skrein is best known for playing Daario Naharis in the third season ofGame of Thrones, before Michiel Huisman took over the role.

While box office receipts will ultimately decide if Skrein can carry the mantle, based on the trailer, he proves he can kick and punch like his predecessor. However with that said, I can’t help but feel The Transporter Refueled is just a poor man’s version of the action franchise. Watch the first trailer below and decide for yourself.

Jennifer Lopez performed her new ballad on last night’s episode of American Idol. Her choice of gown was relatively demure and prom-like and not the revealing and sparkly designs the 45-year-old entertainer typically wears.

After watching her new music video, it all makes sense. The gown’s train is used as a backdrop as animated aliens dance around her. In essence, J. Lo is a glorified projector screen ;)

“Feel The Light” is lifted off the soundtrack for Dreamworks’ animated film Home. Lopez provides the voice of Lucy Tucci, the mother of lead character Tip played by Rihanna. Check out her bright and colorful new visual below.

It appears that Disney is not the only studio giving their classics a live-action treatment.

After almost a decade in development, a live-action Fraggle Rockmovie appears to be finally picking up steam. The series which told the adventures of cave-dwelling creatures debuted in 1983.

With this ‘A’ list actor now on board as producer and signed on to star, Jim Henson’s beloved Muppet characters are all but assured to come to life on the silver screen.

“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on ‘Sesame Street,’ and then on ‘Fraggle Rock. Jim Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I’ve never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood. Collaborating with Lisa Henson makes me confident we can do something that Jim would have loved. I’m grateful and excited to be working with New Regency on this project.”

The above statement is from the film’s producer and star. Have any idea who it could be? Find out below.
